OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -Over time, Darwin began to wonder if species from South America had reached the Galapagos and then changed as they adapted to new environments. This idea-that species could change over time-eventually led to Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Galapagos Islands were crucial for demonstrating Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. Animals on remote islands evolved over long periods to succeed in their environment. They leave behind their original characteristics as they evolve and pass on the adaptations to their offspring.

Detailed explanation-3: -The name of Charles Darwin and his famous book The Origin of Species will forever be linked with the Galapagos Islands. Although he was only in the Galapagos for five weeks in 1835, it was the wildlife that he saw there that inspired him to develop his Theory of Evolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -At last on the way back to England after repatriating the Fuegians and devoting three years to Fitzroy’s survey of the coasts of Argentina and Chile, the Beagle arrived in the Galapagos Islands on 15 September 1835. The next day, Darwin landed on the western end of Chatham Island, now known as San Cristobal.
